Spike

For many years it was thought
the Davidson clan would die out but thanks to the herculean efforts of
one Ran Sax Holst, a baby son and heir to W+K's own Creative Director Tony was born at 0.43am on 24th March

Mother and baby are doing fine and returned home from
hospital on 25th March.  Father is still in a state of shock and in need
of several baby head wetting sessions.
